    A blind man. I can stare at him
    ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?

    O, strange joy,
    to gaze my fill at a stranger’s face.
    No, my thirst is greater than before.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don’t see or care.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
